You really mean Heino Kaski's prelude for the piano? In fact, when I saw just the title of Stephen's mail, I thought that I might mention this piece as a kind of joke. But to my utter astonishment, it was already in Stephen's list. I had no idea this piece might be known outside Finland. To be honest, I don't think it is much worth knowing either.</div><div><br></div><div>Olli Väisälä</div><div>Sibelius Academy</div><div>University of the Arts Helsinki</div><div><div><a href="mailto:ovaisala@siba.fi">ovaisala@siba.fi</a></div></div><div><br></div></body></html>
